Here to Serve – Mark 10:45

“Am I ready?” By Kim Walls

Five more days and I’ll be headed to Guatemala with a team of amazing folks from FBC!

I am excited, nervous, anxious, blessed, hopeful, thrilled…

This will be my first mission trip outside of the U.S. and I can’t wait to see what God has planned for us (the best part? HE’S been planning this a lot longer than we have been!).

A few months ago I wasn’t so sure this trip was going to happen for me due to my recent medical issues. Many friends and some family members told me they didn’t think I should go. “You’re not going to Guatemala, right?” folks said. “It’s not up to me to decide,” was my response.

I relied on God ( a LOT), prayed continually for His guidance and clear answers.
I wanted the door to open wide or slam in my face – a very clear YES or a very clear NO.

Thankfully, that door is completely open and just waiting for me to walk on through.

I am looking forward to serving with this group of people, forming new relationships with the ones I have known for only a short time, and strengthening relationships with the ones I have known for a long time.

I am looking forward to sharing the love of my God with the people in Guatemala.
How is God going to use me? What is He going to show me? What are His plans for me?
